All rights reserved 5 vi. Equipment/Devices inspection strategies and methodologies (including Management of Change, Deviations and Non-conformances resolution procedures). vii. RBI documentation procedure. 3.3 RBI Methodology Demonstration A workshop shall be arranged with the DPR to evaluate the submission and to offer an opportunity for the Operator to demonstrate the capacity to deploy the RBI approach in line with the intent of the applicable legislation(s) and international best practices/standards and sustain its implementation. The RBI methodology and processes shall conform to and meet the minimum expectations set forth by the current versions of American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice (RP) - API RP 580, API RP 581 and/or any other relevant internationally recognised systems and processes for RBI. To apply RBI on equipment/device(s) in existing facilities/assets, an Operator would in addition, be required to demonstrate compliance with the prescriptive inspection and maintenance regime being implemented to the satisfaction of the Department. Also, the Operator shall ensure that the Department’s representative(s) are duly familiar with all the processes and software to be deployed. The review of the submission and the outcome of the workshop, if found satisfactory, shall form the basis for issuing an approval-in-principle to an Operator for the implementation of an RBI approach. The decision for a submission on RBI methodology to be approved or otherwise will largely depend on the description of risk analysis to be carried out or updated during the RBI phases and cycle or to which the consent/approval is applicable. Also, the factors contributing to final risk assessment which include but not limited to the following are considered: - i. Team members performing the assessments and their qualifications ii. Reassessment interval
